Pelican Perch Perfection
Host was EXTREMELY accommodating and responsive. House is nicer than pictures give it justice. Excellent proximity (walking distance) to gorgeous white sand beaches and a short drive to the pier. House is well stocked with linens, kitchen had abundant towels/utensils/appliances/dishes/cookware/spices etc. as well as a variety of beach “necessities” including towels, a wagon, and sand toys. upstairs living room had a variety of books and games. Ample space to spread out an extended family of at least nine. Kitchen is open and a nice space for making meals. Spiral staircase is a bit treacherous and a main thoroughfare, as the bedrooms/a living space are on the ground floor and the kitchen/dining & living spaces are on the second floor. There was a normal staricase outside that led to kitchen door for easy grocery hauling. There is a third floor with additional beds/bathroom and incredible balcony views of the ocean. Would recommend and certainly stay here again.

Everything about the house was exactly as advertised! Location cannot be beat! I went with my entire family (9 of us!) and we all were beyond pleased. Monica was very easy to get ahold of and responded right away. In summary, everything was PERFECT! Can’t wait to return!

Great family vacation
We had a great family vacation at the Pelican Perch. There were 15 family members in our group and we had plenty of room. The house is in a great location with easy beach access and is fully stocked with everything you need for the week. The communication with the owner was great. We will definitely look at staying here again the next time we are in Pensacola.

10 Stars!!! (if I could…)
Wow! Cannot say enough about Monica as a host and her beautiful property a stone’s throw from the perfect sugar-sand beach front. Monica was a dream to work with…very kind, quick to respond to inquiries, and flexible with check-in/out. Her property is PERFECTLY located near the beach with plenty of safe space for little children to have fun in and around the home. Quiet adjacent roads, large driveway area for parking multiple vehicles. The fully functional kitchen and extra beach towels made our stay so comfortable. And don’t even get me started on the overall home decor and vibe! Very relaxing, very beachy…wonderful for our big family vacation. We would LOVE to stay here again.

Wonderful house! Fabulous location!
This is a wonderful property! During our trip, 3 families stayed in the home and had plenty of room for all! The upstairs loft was perfect for the older “kids” to share! The location is fantastic, just a walk across the road to the beach! This beautifully decorated home was well stocked with necessities and clean when we arrived. The property owner was easy to contact and very fast to respond. We look forward to visiting again!

As a VRBO owner I have to say this house is perfect. From the amount of beds to the large gathering room on the second floor to the well stocked kitchen. The house met our needs perfectly. Monica is great to work with and seems invested in making sure your beach vacation is as memorable as possible. Highly recommend and we will be staying again.

Great vacation
We had a great vacation at Pelican Perch. The house was exactly as described in the listing. There was enough space for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids to spread out. Everyone loved the balconies and views of the water. This was our first time in Pensacola Beach and would definitely rent this property again, if back in the area. The town was very nice and not busy at all. Perfect place to visit for families.

Family vacay
This house was gorgeous! Just steps away from the beach and still very quiet. We were concerned about being across the street from the beach instead of being beachfront, but the traffic was so minimal and it was so quiet, there was no need to worry! Monica was very responsive and answered all questions and sent friendly reminders about trash pickup and check in/check out procedures so j didnt have to dig through my email to find. The appliances were all very nice and upgraded. No complaints about this house at all! Beautiful house!!

Best Vacation House Ever!
Monica, Thank you so much for working with my group. You have an incredible house and the perfect location. We stayed only 5 night, but will definitely come back. Pensacola Beach has amazing beaches and the crowds during St. Paddy's Day were quite electric. Our group of 15 fitted quite comfortably in the A-Framed house. You are literally across the street from the beach access (maybe 20 yards from the actual beach). If you stay here be sure to wake up early to see the sunrise, the view from the second balcony is awesome. Thanks again!

The best trip!
Monica has a beautiful home in the coolest area. I traveled to Pensacola Beach with a group of college students who were looking to get away from a crazy party spring break to just relax and recharge the batteries. Monica doesn't normally accommodate those types of groups, but she trusted us and we could not be more appreciative. The house is perfectly designed for family get aways. It is very clean and organized. Every morning, we would wake up, cook our own breakfast and then literally walk across the street to the beach where we would spend the rest of the day. You are allowed to drink on the beach as long as there is no glass and you are respectful of cleaning up after yourself. One day the blue angels did a flyover and it was a pretty cool sight. In the evenings, you can watch the sunset from the 2 balconies on the house and it is gorgeous. From her house, it is about a 4 minute drive into town where there is everything you could need. Thanks again Monica for allowing us to have an amazing trip!

Great place for a large group
First let me say for a 5 star rating from me a home must go above and beyond. This house is great and there is nothing bad at all. Location is far enough from the touristy stuff to keep the rif raf away, but close enough to get there any time we wanted. The third floor did get a bit warm, but I attribute that to kids leaving the 1st or 2nd floor doors open, but a stronger air unit would have made it better. It wasn't unbearable, just a bit warm. Also I did the cooking for a group of 20 and a vent a hood would have been really nice to hold off the heat from the stove. Beds were comfortable, bedding was high quality and clean. All the furniture was was nice and in good shape. There were some structural maintenance needs to the outside, but the inside was very well kept. Location to the beach and the height of the balconies made for a wonderful ocean view. Kitchen utensils and dishes were plentiful and easy to find. I do wish there were a bigger pot there as I do a shrimp boil and for 20 people it was a little under sized. Over all it was a great place to stay. I come down to Pensacola every year for at least a week and this was in my top 3 favorite houses over the last 15 years. Hopefully someday soon I will have another group big enough for this house. I will definitely be giving the owner a call as soon as I do. Loved this place and my communications with Monica.

A fantastic Find!
We had a group of 17 for a family reunion. The house held all of us easily with room to spare! It's bigger inside than it looks. Plenty of parking for our 4 cars. We loved the kitchen, extra refrigerator, and separate ice maker. The bottom and main floor had plenty of room for playing games, activities, and watching movies. A washer and dryer was a nice plus with so many little ones in our group. One of the main reasons we came to Pensacola Beach was for beach fun. This house provides easy access to, and from the beach! We loved it! Easy to hose off the sand before you go in, with table space, and chairs outside to enjoy in the shade of a hot afternoon. The decks provided views of the gulf, with beautiful sunsets to enjoy. Also easy drive to the boardwalk area of Pensacola beach. Monica was very helpful with any questions we had. Would rent it again!

This was my second year bringing my family to this house for our vacation. Again, we loved our stay. Everyone agreed we will be back next year too. The house location is perfect for me to see the ocean, hear the waves and walk to the beach. We brought bikes - so fun to ride bikes at the beach!

Such a great house!! Feels like home on the beach.
We had a great time at Pelican Perch!! It is so much roomier inside than it "looks". It was the perfect house for our moms and daughters trip. Everyone agreed it felt cozy, and welcoming and loved the location. The view and just steps to the beach access are fantastic. Mulitple decks make it easy to get sun or be in the shade. The decks... just awesome!!! TONS of parking space. The views are great. The mulitple beds/bunks/bed styles and arrangemet of rooms makes it perfect for groups and multiple families and kids. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Tons of hooks for wet suits and towels. The kitchen is SUPER well stocked and it is quite nice to find extras that usually get thrown away from previous guests -like salt and pepper!! Its so convenient to have 2 fridges!! Laundry room (huge) is great and there are beach towels to use which is nice as well. The kitchen table is large and so fun and easy to gather for meals and games. There are blankets around to use on sofas and beds. We had no issues at all with temperature control or anything else working in the home. House was totally clean and comfortable. Upscale appliances. The decor is cute, fun and beachy. The book about the familys heart,soul and hard work that went into this house is amazing and so cool to see. They did an incredible job. Monica was so easy to work with, quick to respond and so welcoming and helpful. Thanks for a great stay and great home!!

Perfect Beach House for Small Wedding!
This house is absolutely AMAZING and Monica the owner is even more AMAZING! We were looking for a beach house option to hold our small wedding reception and this was the perfect place! The public beach access point is directly across the street making it extremely close and convenient. We held our wedding ceremony on the public beach and used the wood walkway as the perfect ceremony entrance! The reception was held in the large paved driveway area. We had about 50 guests fit comfortably with lots of extra room! We even rented a tent that fit amazingly in the space. The home had 3 bedrooms on the first floor and one on the third floor. These rooms all came with cute/beachy decorations and were immaculately clean when we arrived. The second floor was the perfect hang out area with a large kitchen (separate ice machine!) and large living room with amazing water views. The decks...can't say enough about how wonderful they are! They've since been rebuilt and made larger from the pictures posted on this site. Thank you so much for allowing us to have our wedding at your home. It is truly a spot we will remember forever!

The Koenig Gang has been vacationing at Pensacola Beach, FL for the past 50 years, and we were finally able to acquire our own piece of the beach. We grew up at the original Pelican Perch down the street which eventually succumbed to hurricanes. We proudly present Pelican Perch II, brought to you by the Koenig Gang Brethren (affectionately referred to as the KGB). We hope you enjoy our house as much as we do!
